On Bush, Cheney, Weiner

by

Abby Zimet

Glenn Greenwald notes the grotesque discrepancies of the Weiner debacle: The Congressman is forced out of office; Bush and Cheney - torture, illegal spying, hundreds of thousands of dead in Iraq and lies unending - were not. Thanks go, in part, to the so-called media. Watch cable teevee cut away from Pelosi when she wants to talk about not weiners but jobs.

Whew. That was way too close for comfort. And yeah, the country's in a sorry state to have come to this. But not only does Doug Jones become the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in Alabama in 25 years; his win is a blunt rejection of all the hate-mongering, gay-bashing, race-baiting, sexual-assaulting, serial lying crap of losers Moore and Trump and Bannon and their ugly ilk. Forward to mid-terms. And once and for all, to Moore in all his evil: "Fuck you and the horse you (badly) rode in on."
